摘要:
The inventions relate to controlling the particle size, and gas flows in moving beds of particles containing metallic iron and/or nickel, wherein the metallic iron or nickel are reactants in carbonylation reactions with carbon monoxide (a component of the flowing gas). The inventions' use is to increase the rates of production of iron carbonyl and nickel carbonyl. The inventions use cross-flow funnels containing moving beds of carbonylation particles (i.e., that contain iron and nickel) and regulation of the removal of those particles from the bottoms of the funnels. Cross-flow refers to the horizontal flow of the carbonylation gas (containing carbon monoxide) through the downward moving beds of carbonylation particles held in the cross-flow funnels.
摘要:
Ultrasound device having a reaction chamber, which includes a magnetostrictive transducer and a horn transmitting ultrasound radiation substantially uniformly throughout the reaction chamber. The horn is hollow and is constituted by a cylinder having an empty inner chamber at its core defining a resonance chamber, which may be cylindrical and may comprise a plurality of sections of cylindrical shape or a central section of larger diameter and two terminal sections of smaller diameter.

Hydrogen is produced from water by the addition of heat to a series of chemical reactions which comprise the reaction of cadmium with water, and the subsequent recovery of the cadmium for re-use. The equipment used to produce the hydrogen requires only the input of water and heat to produce an output of hydrogen and oxygen gas.

An optical system (10) operatively associated with incident light (50) is provided. The incident light is essentially comprised of a first part (52) and a second part (54). The optical system includes: a photo catalytic reactor (30) comprising a photo catalyst (36) operatively associated with the first part of the incident light, an optical device (20) operatively associated with the second part of the incident light, and a beam splitter (40) for separating the incident light into the first part which is directed to the photo catalyst and the second part which is directed to the optical device.
摘要:
Methods and apparatus for preparing gaseous compositions comprising a metal carbonyl, preferably at ppm concentration, are disclosed. The methods comprise placing metal, preferably in the form of filings, of the metal carbonyl to be produced into a first test vessel at a first temperature, and then pressurizing the first test vessel with a gas comprising carbon monoxide from a carbon monoxide source vessel. The contents of the first vessel are then heated to a second temperature and at a rate sufficient to initiate metal carbonyl formation, thereby forming a gas composition comprising a metal carbonyl. The reaction is then quenched by transferring some of the gas composition comprising a metal carbonyl from the first test vessel to a second test vessel which is at a third temperature, the third temperature being lower than the second temperature. Finally, the gas composition is diluted in the second test vessel with an inert gas (preferably argon) from an inert gas source container.
摘要:
A process for the recovery of chemical values, particularly uranium, nickel and/or radionuclides from process equipment theretofore employed in a uranium hexafluoride isotope enrichment cascade. Preferably, the process is carried out, in situ, at subatmospheric pressure employing the existing process equipment from which the chemical values are to be recovered. In one aspect, the process includes recovery of uranium values employing a gaseous fluorinating agent at subatmospheric pressure, followed by recovery of nickel values employing a gaseous reactant comprising a mixture of carbon monoxide and a promoter, preferably hydrogen sulfide and at subatmospheric pressure.
